The 928 was designed over 10 years after the 911 design work and as such had significant advances over the 930, but unfortunately was delivered to us UNDERPOWERED at its debut. Few Porsche buyers (at the time) ever said a 930 was underpowered. The early turboCarrera gave me thrills and chills as I figured out how to drive it, and like true exotics of the period it was a challenge to own, service, and drive... and it was my only car and daily driver for 2 years. I do miss it but these were a lot easier to buy back then as they were $15,000 cars at the time. easy come easy go.
